Chicago, SepterT]ber I5tl^, 1884. 



E trust you will excuse our being a little late with the issue of our Catalogue for 1884, 
the cause of the delay being due to the moving of our Factory, our entire time and 
attention having been required in placing machinery and getting things in running 
order. The increased demand for our Chairs, which have become the recognized 
STANDARD of this Country, has made it necessary for us to erect a building to be specially 
devoted to the manufacture of Barbers' Chairs, Furniture and Supplies. 

In issuing this edition every care has been taken to make it thorough and complete in all 
its parts, and a standard book of reference for the trade. We have added to our list of 
Barbers' chairs three new ones, the Windsor and Two Reclining Chairs, one of the latter 
being automatic in its action. 

We desire to draw special attention to our Dressing Cases, designed by us for barbers' 
use ; also to our entirely new line of Mug Cases. Within the past few months we have been 
fitting up quite a number of shops with elegant Cabinet Cases. We get up these cases in 
several handsome styles, and for any number of chairs. 

We also make some beautiful Mirror Cases, rich in ornamentation, and with turned pil- 
lars. Photographs of these will be cheerfully sent to parties who desire to have them made. 
We regret that our time is too limited to permit us to have the engravings made for use in 
this catalogue. 

We are prepared to give figures and Estimates on any style of Cabinet or Combination 
Dressing Cases, made by other houses, if you will send us an illustration of same. Our 
facilities for doing this class of work are unsurpassed ; we can make these cases in cherry or 
walnut, or, if desired, a combination of hard woods can be employed to suit the taste of 
each customer. 

Owing to the increased amount of room, the capacity of all our departments has been 
increased ; notably, that of our grinding shop, in which we employ the largest force of 
skilled grinders in this city. 

We give the same care and attention as formerly to china decorating. Besides our 
Toilet Preparations, already so well known, we have added a branch for the manufacture of 
Toilet and shaving soaps. Sweeping reductions in prices have been made in many depart- 
ments, especially in glassware. 

It is our intention to move our office and salesroom, on or about October 15th, to the 
store floor of our factory. Provided with more commodious quarters, it will enable us to 
display our manufactures to better advantage, thus making selection of goods easier for 
customers, besides increasing our facilities for shipping goods. 

It will be our constant aim to retain the confidence of our customers by supplying them 
with the BEST of goods at the lowest market rates. Gratefully acknowledging past favors, 
and soliciting your future patronage, we are 

Respectfully yours, 

THEO. A. KOCHS.

the corner of N. Wells and Erie streets. It will be noticed that N. Wells street is only a con- 
tinuation of Fifth avenue, it being divided by the Chicago river. By taking the Wells street 
cars on the corner of Fifth avenue and Randolph street, our patrons can ride directly to the 
corner where our new quarters are located, within a few blocks of the North- Western Rail- 
way depot, and but a short distance from the business center.

KOCHS' BARBERS' CHAIR, No. 9. 

Pat. Feb. 17. 1880. 




Front View. 

Grand and stately in appearance, its graceful outlines suggestive of luxury and comfort, 
our No. 9 chair stands to-day without a rival. The higli degree of development and skill 
attained in the various branches of Wood Worlting could nowhere find a more fitting example 
than is afforded by this chair. It is made of Black Walnut or Cherry; the carving is of the 
most elaborate description ; the inlaid work is exquisitely designed, the effect produced by 
the artistic arrangement of the various colored and natural woods being at once effective and 
charming. This chair can be adjusted to every desired position for shaving or hair cutting. 
The back view of this chair, which is shown on the opposite page, is also very striking. 

Among the establishments who have fitted up their shops with these chairs mention may 
be made of the Ebbitt House, at Washington, D. C, where fourteen of them are in use ; the 
Plankington House Barber shop at Milwaukee, Wis., where eleven of our No. 9 chairs have 
been placed, through our agents, Messrs. Ladwig & Schranck ; the Grand Hotel Barber shop, 
at Cincinnati, Ohio, where we have put in eight of them ; besides this, hotel shops at Council 
Bluffs, Iowa; Portage, Wis.; Peoria, 111., and numerous other places. 

PRICE: 

Covered with Best Mohair Plush, Olive, Maroon, Green or Crimson $70.00 

It may also be had covered in Embossed Maroon or Olive Plush without extra charge.

qualities so desirable in a chair. It is handsome in appearance, is finely upholstered and is 
substantially made. The platform and cross-bar of the foot-stool are covered with sheet 
brass, studded with brass nails. Adjustable to all positions' for shaving and hair cutting. 

The extraordinary demand for this chair is due as much to its handsome and symmetrical 
appearance as to its moderate cost. Over 3,000 of them are now in use.

KOCHS' WINDSOR BARBERS' CHAIR, 



Covered by Patents of Feb. 17. 1880. 




This is a well-constructed, showy-looking chair, having an open back ; it is made of the 
best material, by the best of workmen and with the same perfection of detail that has won 
for our chairs a wide-spread reputation. The frame is made of solid Black Walnut, finished 
in oil, and is ornamented with veneered panels ; finelj' carved elephant heads adorn the arms. 
The machinery, which is strong and durable, is similar to that used on our Eureka chair, 
except that it is attached to both sides of the chair ; a slight pressure on the pedal at the rear 
permits the chair to be adjusted to all the necessary positions for shaving and hair cutting. 
The foot-stool is provided with an iron platform and cross-bar, neatly japanned. 



PRICE: 

Covered with Mohair Plush, in Green, Maroon or Crimson, or with Moquette $35.00

This chair is the prettiest, cheapest, strongest built and best chair for the money ever 
manufactured. So popular has this chair become that it has taxed our capacity to its utmost 
to keep pace with the demand for them. It is made of solid black vralnut ; the platform and 
cross-bar of the foot-stool are covered with sheet brass, studded with brasa nails. The 
machinery for adjusting this chair is a new device, and is strong, simple and durable. 
Adjustable to every desired position for shaving or hair cutting. The seat of this chair can 
be taken out.

KOCHS' BARBERS' CHAIR, No. 3. 



Patented Feb. 17, 1880. 




Made of solid Black Walnut, well finished. The object in view when designing this chair 
was to make a very durable, cheap chair, and, though a handsome chair in appearance, dura- 
bility was intended as its chief merit. The exterior is not elaborate, on account of the very 
low price at which it is sold. It is adjustable to any desired position for shaving or hair 
cutting.

KOCHS' MODERN RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR, No. 

Covered by our Patents of Feb. 17, 1880. 




Frequent and repeated inquiry for a good Reclining Barbers' Chair has induced us to 
bring out this chair. It is the result of long and careful study, as to the particular wants of 
the trade, and is put upon the market with the conviction that it is just such a chair as has 
long been demanded. Its shape, as will readily be seen, is an improvement over all other re- 
clining chairs made, the outlines being natural and pleasing. Another improvement is the 
strong front and rear brace, which we have introduced in the lower frame, and which 
strengthens it materially. A distinctive feature is the simple mechanism for placing and re- 
taining the chair in any desired position. The nicety with which the different parts are bal- 
anced and their entire freedom from friction, permits this chair to be adjusted from an 
upright to a perfectly horizontal position, by a light pressure upon the foot pedal at the rear. 
Securely attached to the upper part of this chair, on either side, is a strong ornamental iron 
plate, the same being pivoted to the lower frame. This construction permits the back to be 
easily removed, and allows the chair to be shipped in a small box. We make this chair in 
black walnut, engraved with gilt lines ; the foot rest is covered with sheet brass and can be 
adjusted to suit the length of legs of different persons. 

PRICE. 

Upholstered in carpet, with bronze trimmings $25,00

CLOUGH'S AUTOMATIC RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR. 

Manufactured solely by Theo. A. Kochs, under Patents of June 15, 1880. 




This chair is the invention of Mr. Joseph Clough, a barber at Providence, R. I. Mr. 
Clough is very ingenious, and a man of practical ideas. His chair was brought to our notice 
by one of our agents, while on an eastern trip, and so impressed were we with its mechanical 
merits that negotiations were entered into by which we have acquired the sole and exclusive 
right to manufacture these chairs, four hundred (400) of which are already in use. It is simple 
and substantial in its construction, and not liable to get out of order. It is called automatic 
because the occupant can adjust the chair to its different positions ; it can also be operated 
by the workman, by moving the foot-rest up or down with his hand or foot. It is limited to 
two positions, viz., for hair cutting and shaving. In either position it is firmly locked and 
held by springs under the seat. The above engraving shows the position for hair cutting, 
the position for shaving being illustrated on the opposite page. The frame of this chair is 
made of black walnut, strongly bolted and screwed to an iron frame under the seat. The 
automatic foot rest, described on page 21, is of brass. The seat, back and leg-rest are cov- 
ered with cane, making a very cool and comfortable chair, particularly adapted to warm 
climates. 

Price, $28.00.

CLOUGH'S AUTOMATIC RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR. 

Manufactured solely by Theo. A. Kochs, under Patents of June 15, 1880. 




RECLINING POSITION. 

The above illustration shows the Automatic Reclining Barbers' Chair, in position for 
shaving. To change from the upright to the reclining position the occupant has but to raise 
the brass foot-rest vpith his foot, when the chair immediately takes the desired position. In 
doing this, the leg rest raises, the seat slides smootlily forward in a groove, about three inches, 
and the back, which is pivoted, recedes. After shaving, the customer raises up and leans for- 
ward, when the chair resumes its first position. All of this is accomplished without the 
slightest noise or jar. The rod forming the pivot, on which the foot rest is hinged, is sur- 
rounded with two spiral springs ; the action of these springs hold the foot-rest against the 
leg rest (see illustration on opposite page). The crossbar can then be reached by a person 
with very short legs, and can be pushed into any desired position against the resistant pres- 
sure of the springs, to the length of the legs of any person. The above illustration shows the 
foot-rest as it appears when pressed downward.

BARBER CHAIR MACHINERY. 



EUREKA MACHmERY. 




The machinery used on our Eureka Chairs, as 
shown in illustration, is simple, yet strong and 
durable. It' permits the chair to be adjusted to any 
position, where it is firmly and immovably held. 
Covered by patents of Feb. 19, 1880. 



KOCHS' IMPROVED 
HEAD-REST 

ATTACHMENT. 

It is put on the chair in 

such a manner as to 

leave no portion of it 

in view except a small 

silver - plated button 

under the Head-Rest, 

which, if pressed upon, 

will allow the Head- 

Rest to slide down. 

Its advantages over 

the old style which 

are used on all other 

chairs are as follows : 

1st. It cannot break. 

2d. The spring cannotfall out of place. 

3d. The levercannot bend out of shape. 

4th. It is not an obstruction. 

5th. Itwillnot let the head-rest slip out 

of position. 
6th. It need never be replaced. 





This arrangement for adjusting Barbers' 
Chairs has become so well known and has 
been so universally endorsed by Barbers 
that there does not now remain any doubt 
whatever of its superiority over all others. 

The points pre-eminently in its favor, 
and upon which its merits are based, may 
be summed up as follows : 

1st. Perfect safety, which is a positive 
necessity. The chair cannot possibly slip 
out of place and alarm the occupant, be- 
cause the machinery forms a perfect lock. 

2d. Strength, since the chair is sup- 
ported at both sides and directly from the 
back, where the greatest weight rests, 
thereby overcoming the objection to 
chairs supported from the front. 

3d. Absence of friction, because when 
the foot lever is pressed down and the 
wheels become disengaged, the chair 
moves perfectly free and with the great- 
est ease. 

The springs which are now used in this 
machinery, are made of one-quarter (i) 
inch round English steel wire, finely tem- 
pered, and removes all danger of break-

^ 



Being the pioneers in the man- 
ufacture of Barbers' Poles in this 
city, we have established a repu- 
tation for supplying poles made 
of good, dry timber, well paint- 
ed and gilded. Turning them 
out in large numbers, we are 
able to furnish them cheaper 
than other dealers. Especial at- 
tention is directed to our Favor- 
ite pole— a model of beauty and 
low priced. All of our ten and 
twelve inch poles have an inch 
and a half hole bored clean 
through them. This prevents 
cracking and also admits of run 
ning gas pipe through them foi 
illuminating purposes. 



G. Pole. Price $1.75 



The Favorite Barber's Pole. 

This is a new style of Poie, witli gilt ball 
top and gilt stars on black ground in center; 
stripes in colors. The very best quality of 
gold leaf only is used on these Poles. The 6 
inch Poles are 7 feet high; the 8 inch, 10 inch 
and 12 inch Poles are 8 feet high.

KAMMERER'S SWING STOOL. 




This Stool is especially adapted for elderly 
barbers, and those of the profession who 
complain of the fatigue resulting from con- 
stant standing, and to whom an occasional 
rest would be desirable. While resting both 
body and feet, this stool permits the barber 
to engage in his work, and to move around 
his chair with the utmost ease and freedom. 
The seat is upholstered in plush and can be 
raised or lowered by means of a screw.

The cut shows the respective positions of the Fuel, Fire 
and Water. The door to feed by is in a portion of the 
s^moke-pipe, which we furnish. The large sizes are Self- 
Feeders, so that a Are can be kept up for twelve hours at 
a time, without attention. 

FITTING UP BATH ROOMS. 

If your town does not supply you with water pressure, you will need the following fixtures: 1. A cold 
water tank (see page 55). 2. An iron tank, or boiler. .3. A bath-room heater. 4. Bath tubs as needed. 
After connecting the heater by means of pipes with the iron tank (see cut), run a pipe from the top of tank to 
the cold water supply. Hot water is drawn off from the tank to the tubs, a separate pipe for cold water being 
run from the main water supply to tubs. When using this heater, an iron tank is always necessary, as connec- 
tions cannot be made directly between the heater and tubs. The 12x24 inch heater is adapted for one or two 
tubs ; we cannot recommend the smaller sizes.

ISOTICK. — On account of showing new designs of mugs, illustrations of some of the old styles 
have been omitted; we will fill orders for any number of mugs shown in former catalogues. We can also 
make any style of mug shown in other dealers' catalogues, or mug sheets. All mug decoration turned out 
by us is strictly first-class. If you have never seen any of our work, a trial will convince you of its superiority. 

We send with this Catalogue a mug sheet containing all of the designs of mugs shown in this catalogue. 

The prices printed under each mug is just double what we ask barbers for them. The display of this 
sheet on your wall will undoubtedly assist you in making remunerative sales. 

For Lather Brushes see page 72. For Cup Sponges see page 91.

GRINDING. 

In Sending unsealed packages of Razors or other Tools for grinding, by mail, do not en- 
close any writing in them, but write your name and address on the outside of package and send 
directions for grinding by letter. The safest way to send is by Express, when full directions 
may be enclosed.

For reducing large Razors to smaller size, also for grinding Razors that have been 
purposely hacked or broken, there will be an extra charge of 10 to 15 cents, considerable 
time and attention being required for this class of work. 

We have had occasion already to refer in our description of Factory, (page 5) to our 
improved methods in grinding Razors. Like in every other branch of industry, improve- 
ments have been made in this department. Keeping pace with the times,_ we have dis- 
carded old methods of Grinding, methods which still seem to possess attractions for the old 
fogies who are striving to retard the march of progress. No further proof of our success 
in turning out satisfactory work is required, than is evidenced by the steady increase in the 
amount of Grinding we receive. A visit to this department will only give emphasis to our 
assertion that we have the largest Grind Shop in this City.

HONES. 




BRAZILIAN HONES. 



$1.50 
. 1.75 
. 2.00 
. 2.25 



In reply to numerous inquiries about the Brazilian Hone, we wish to say that this hone 
is of the order of the Water Hones. Of finer grain and softer than any other hone, it is 
unequaled in its cutting powers, giving razors a Iteener edge in less time than can be done by 
any other hone in the market. Though no rubber accompanies them, we furnish one free of 
charge with every hone. Use with rubber and water, or apply lather. •

Ivory Handle Razors kept in stock in the Diamond Steel brand only. 
Price, each, $1.75; per half dozen, $9.00 

We confine our sales to the above brands of Razors, having made it a rule to drop such 
Razors as have not proved uniform in quality and satisfactory to our customers. We 
are always on the look-out for anything new in this line, and have at the present time a 
representative in Europe, with special instructions to buy for us such Razors as will meet the 
requirements of the American trade. 



I^E3yL.A.:E^ICS. 



The two trade marks here shown represent the 
two brands used on the "Diamond Steel" and 
"Robert Knight" Razors. These Razors are 
manufactured from the very best English Steel, 
are exquisitely tempered, and are ground with the 
greatest of care by the most skillful grinders. 
Their sLcrling qualities have gained for them 
ROBERT KNIGHT, among barbers a merited reputation. 




^ A M o A. 



If Razors sent out by us should not meet the peculiar wants of our customers, they will be 
exchanged for others, if returned to us free of charge, in good order. The safest way to 
send is either by registered mail or by express.

ATHENIAN HAIR TONIC. 

Highly recommended, and sold in all leading Barber Shops in this city 
and the northwest. It is no Restorative, as it contains no lead, sulphur, 
or any other poisonous substances, but it invigorates the roots of the hair 
and removes dandruff from the scalp, at the same time keeping the head 
clean and cool, and the hair soft, glossy and of a silky appearance.

GAMPBELLaLa'S 

HAIR LUXURIANT, 

UNEaUALED AS A DEESSINQ FOE THE HAIE. 

FOR RENDERING THE HAIR SOFT, GLOSSY AND ABUNDANT. 

We can speak of the merits of Campbell's Hair Luxuriant 
from personal experience, and can heartily commend it to those 
wishing to purchase a first-class article. Campbell's Hair 
Luxuriant is no restorer and will not change the color of the 
Hair ; it is guaranteed to be entirely free from drugs or other 
injurious substances. It is cooling, imparts vigor to the scalp 
and will cure dandruff. It is put up in attractive shape, sells 
readily, and at the price at which we offer it, will enable the 
barber to realize a good profit.

Per dozen bottles $5.50

HAIR DTES AND RESTORATIVES. 

KOCHS' HAIR DYE. 

This Dye is put up in a box containing two bot- 
tles, viz., No. 1 and No. 2, and has been manufac- 
tured by us for the past ten years, giving universal 
satisfaction among barbers. It dyes the hair in- 
stantaneously to a jet black color. It is easily re- 
moved from the skin by the use of soap and water; 
should this fail to take away the stain entirely, a solu- 
tion of Sulphurate of Potash, which can be obtained 
from any druggist, will remove it immediately. 

Box containing two ounces No. 1 and one ounce No. 2, also full 

directions $0 50 

Per dozen boxes 5 50 





CAMPBELL'S ATMOSPHERIC HAIR DYE. 

As its name implies, Campbell's Atmospheric Hair Dye does not 
dye the hair immediately after being applied, but gradually changes the 
color upon exposure to the atmosphere. According to the number of 
applications, the color of the hair can be varied from a light brown to 
a jet black.

KOCHS' EXTRA PERFUMED TOILET POWDER. 

This powder has gained a high reputation among Barbers and Hair 
Dressers all through the Western States for its purity, and delightful and 
very lasting perfume. 

It is saturated with the finest odors, extracted direct from the flowers, 
and as it is put up in tin cans it retains its strength, and is, therefore, much 
preferred to the French Powder put up in packages.
